UK Black Pride will take place over three days for an extended 2021 event

UK Black Pride will take place over three days for an extended 2021 event UK Black Pride – Europe’s largest Pride celebration for LGBTQ+ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and Middle Eastern-descent – will return in a big way for 2021. Following their 15th birthday celebrations last year, UK Black Pride will be extended across three days this summer over the weekend 2-4 July. The organisation have also announced the theme as Love and Rage, to acknowledge the difficult 12 months for so many people within ethnic minority communities. “What we’ve seen firsthand over the past year is our communities’ persistent commitment to each other,” a press release for UK Black Pride 2021 read.

UK Black Pride to return with three-day weekend of love and rage

UK Black Pride is set to return this year with a three-day weekend of “love and rage”. What started as a minibus trip to Southend-on-Sea in 2005 has blossomed into Europe’s biggest celebration for LGBT+ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and Middle Eastern descent. But after the coronavirus pandemic turned the world on its head last year, UK Black Pride went digital, with some 30,000 Pride-goers tuning in. For 2021, UK Black Pride, now in its 16th year, will buck the trend of some organisers cautiously announcing in-person events for 2021 by once again going online. In a blog post on the UK Black Pride website, executive director and co-founder Phyll Opoku-Gyimah confirmed that the event will run from Friday 2 July to Sunday 4 July.

Aesthetica Magazine - Revolution in Bloom

Revolution in Bloom Strange Flowers is the title of an online exhibition co-curated by Elizabeth Fleur Willis and Nnena Nwakodo for collective The Earth Issue. It refers to the haunting protest song, Strange Fruit, recorded most famously by Billie Holiday in 1939. Originally penned as a poem two years earlier by writer Abel Meeropol, the lyrics describe the horrifying lynching of Black Americans in the Southern States, comparing victims’ bodies to fruit hanging on trees. The legacy of that brutal history continues today in the killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other victims of racial violence, whose bodies the curators compare to flowers: “Taken without consent, their stems ripped from the earth, their connection to life severed, petals pulled and crushed underfoot.”
